When I was in recovery I had no drain, no foley. Is that normal? I had prepared my family for that but nothing. I know this could be a blessing in disguise but was curious. I am at 30 oz a liquid but improved everday.

I didn't have a drain or foley either. Will be 3 weeks post op Monday.

I didnt have them either ... i believe a drain is used for the gastric bypsss..I dont know about the foley....I am 4 weeks post op on tuesday.

Some doctors use a drain some don't. Some doctors use a foley, some don't.

My doctor only uses a foley if she thinks the surgery will be extra long. She always uses a drain. The use of drain and foley are two questions I asked when finding surgeons.. I wanted one that didn't use the foley but did use a drain.

Just depends on the surgeon. I had a drain for a week after surgery. No catheter though.

So funny how sugeons are so different and there's no right way or wrong way. I had a foley but no drain.
